She seems to be coming along nicely! I like the blue accents. Too bad you won't see them after the car is finished.

You're right. Richard is the man!

Suspension looks great. Which coilovers did you use?  I also have a early S2 with the upper rear a-arm within the frame.  Did you have to make any modifications to mount the coilovers?  Tom

Hi BDA - yes, I do like to paint everything, even if you can't see it later, I know it's there !!

Runningwild - I bought the Protec units from SJ - I had to grind a small amount from the lower mounting where it fouled the lower arms - otherwise they fit nicely and seem like good quality units.

I actually can relate. I painted my steering rack gold! :)
